Dear USPSA Membership,

This is an extremely important message, which needs to be delivered to all team representatives, coaches, and team managers.

In light of recent findings, the USPSA is no longer accepting BlazeSports America Memberships as proof of liability insurance. Blaze insurance does not meet the USPSA requirement.

There are two options available for you to obtain proof of liability insurance:

1. Liability coverage through your local organization; or
2. The USPSA has made available, insurance through a reputable company and it is available to all of our member teams.

The liability insurance application which meets the USPSA requirements is on line and available to download. The insurance coverage is quite extensive and cost effective. A team of twelve athletes is $135.00 total for twelve months. All of the details of this policy can be reviewed on the USPSA website under downloads.

For those teams who purchased BlazeSports America Membership, you are still a member of Blaze and will have insurance for Blaze Sanctioned Events should you choose to participate. The USPSA's events are not sanctioned by Blaze Sports America.

If you have purchased membership for insurance purposes this season, September 2008 forward, BlazeSports America will refund your membership dues. We are working closely with Blaze to expedite this refund.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused your team. Your insurance must be in place for all teams prior to competing in USPSA sanctioned games or regional and nationals tournaments.

For any concerns or questions, please direct them to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Thank you for your immediate attention.

Sincerely,
Ericka M. Sutton
USPSA Secretary
